Media Relations

Office of Strategic Communication staff are ready to help connect media with sources, provide information about administrative and academic matters, and share the University of Iowa story. The OSC team can make the newsgathering process easier by providing access to campus buildings and newsmakers.

THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON THE UNIVERSITY’S  RESPONSE TO COVID-19

The quickest and easiest way to ensure a timely response is to email media-request@uiowa.edu, which goes directly to several team members. 

Please direct inquires involving the UI Department of Public Safety to Hayley Bruce, assistant director for strategic communication and external relations for UIDPS.

Please direct inquiries involving University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics to its media relations team: https://uihc.org/media-phone-numbers.

As a state institution, journalists have access to public areas across the University of Iowa campus. However, you must contact our office before entering residence halls or classrooms unless a specific faculty member has granted permission to visit their classroom.
